Disorders Which AfYsc, the kidneys

Are among the most formidable known.
Diabetes, Bright's disease, gravel, and
other complaints of the urinary organs,
are not ordinarily cured in severe cases,
bit they may be averted by timely medi-
cation A useful stimrlant of the urinary
glands has ever been found in Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. medicine which not
only affords the requisite stimulus when
they become inactive. but increases their
vigor and secretive power. By increasing
the activity of the kidneys and bladder,
this medicine has the additional effect of
expelling from the blood impurities
which it is the peculiar office of those Or
gans to eliminate and pass off. The
Bitters is also purifier and strengthener
of the bowels, an invigorant of the
stomach, and a matchless remedy for
biliousness and fever and ague. 1t coun>

The paws of the sphinx, as they now appear,
are a restoration of Roman date, being cased
in comparatively small slabs, and to some ex-
tent hollow underneath The breast of the
sphinx has likewise been faced with slabs, ap-
parentlv i'll Roman times; and these slabs
have again been repaired by cutting away the
wrathcred surface and inserting fresh fac
ing. Like the legs of the Colossi OF the Plain,
and those of the great statue of Aboo Simbel,
the paws of the sphinx are covered with the
Greek scrawls of early travellers; but these

ITERESTiNG ACCOUNT or THE
WORK OF DiSINTERMENf.

The Sand Carried Away in Large Bas-
Notwithstanding Results from Appar-

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of Roman Date.
The last occasion on which the Great Sphinx
was cleared down to the level on which the
paws rest was In honor of the opening of the
Suez canal in 1863 The ever drifting sands
had, however, reburied it almost to the throat
when Professor Maspero; during his last year
of office at BCulak, began again the work OF
disinterment This work has now been going
on, somewhat intermittently, for more than
twelve months, and is at the present time in
active progress under the direction of Pro
fessor Maspero's successor, NJ. Grebaut A
tranway has been laid down from the Sphynx
to the edge of the Pyramid plateau, passing
close under the west face of the granite build

temple of the Sphynx Along this tramway
light trucks convey the sand to the point at
which their contents are discharged, the
trucks being loaded by Arabs of both sexes
and all ages, who carry the sand upon their
heads in large fiat baskets, ascending and de
scending all day long from tho excavations
Fellow 10 the tramway above and vice versa.
ASTONISHING RESULTS.
The means look curiously inadequate, but
the results are astonishing Already the en-
tire fore part of the great stone monster Is
laid bare, and the huge chest, the paws, the
space between the paws, the altar in front of
them, and the platform upon which they
rest, are once more open to the light of day.
Nor is this ALL Between the Sphinx and the
edge of the Pyramid plateau vast space has
also been cleared, thus bringing to view fine
flight of steps some 40 feet in width. These
steps, which are described by Pliny, We're un-
covered by Caviglia in 1917, but have been
entirely lost TO sight for nearly seventy years.
A second flight of steps and the remains OF
two Roman buildings were also found by
Caviglia, and will again be brought to light
il NJ Grebaut continues to work in this direc-
ton.
To the right of the Sphinx--that is TO say,
in the direction of the granite temple, TO the
southwark, a further excavation is in pro
gress, the result of which will probably con
firm the surmises of those who believe the
Sphinx to stand in the midst of a huge arti-
fetal amphitheatre hewn out of the solid
rock. This gigantic work would of course be
contemporaneous with the Sphinx itself,
which Mariette attributed to the mythiC
ages before the advent of Mena, the first king
of the first dynasty, and which Maspero con
siders to be. if not actually prehistoric, at al
events the Oldest monument in Egypt.
From the level of the area below the great
flight of steps (which lead down, and not
IN, to the Sphinx one now measures the
whole height of the huge human-headed
monster, whose battered countenance stands
